My Life As An RSS Junkie — “Unfortunately my experiment with RSS abstinence didn’t last long. It’s almost impossible to be a functional RSS addict in our society. RSS has become so pervasive there’s simply no way to escape it. Everywhere I look I see those damn orange icons.“

Saw this in your RSS feed…
Hehe.
I’ve been trying to whittle my subscriptions to a manageable level, so this article struck a chord.
Is 58 manageable? Not quite. Damn orange icons.
Funny, I liked RSS for exactly this reason.
The cycle of casual-use / addiction / unbearable-intrusiveness / rock-bottom was so much faster than with the regular internet. So it only black-holed a couple of weeks of my life, rather than months at a time.
I give it five stars!
